🚨 THE US JUST BOMBED A WATER PLANT. READ THAT AGAIN:

America just struck a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island, Iran.

Do you understand what that means?

– 30 villages just lost their water supply

– This is not a military base. Not a missile site. Not a radar station. A WATER PLANT.

– Iran's FM warned this will have "grave consequences"

– He said: "The US set this precedent, not Iran"

– That means Iran now considers ALL civilian infrastructure fair game

– Every desalination plant in the Gulf just became a potential target

– Saudi Arabia gets 70% of its drinking water from desalination

– UAE gets 90%

– Qatar gets almost 100%

– One strike on a Gulf desalination plant and MILLIONS have no drinking water within days

The US just opened a door that CANNOT be closed. And Iran is watching.

[S/V Loner]

55. Thanks. I tried to look it up but couldn't find anything. n/t

[artemisia1]

60. Typo. CPC (Communist Party of China), whose approval is necessary to obtain and retain a professorship at a

[paleotn]

78. Is that any better than our system?

It's not like we're the bastion of free expression or free flow of ideas anymore.

[Red Mountain]

87. Not quite there, yet

but they've been there for a while.

[rictofen]

50. Watch out, that guy's a JFK / Lunar landing / 9-11 nutter, amongst other things

(in the thumbnail moment of the vid I'm linking, he compares the shape of the roads in/around Dealay Plaza to a menorah ... not antisemitic at all...)

He's basically a slightly smarter version of Alex Jones who manages to fly under the radar a bit as he spews bullshit for hours. I wonder what "class" he's teaching; Anti-West Propaganda and Conspiracies 101? In any case, the Youtube algorithm has unfortunately been given him eyeballs lately. There's more troubling stuff about this guy I, but the CT nonsense was more than enough for me.

As for the specific predictions here, he also says this is now WW3 and the end of the world, and that Russia and China will enter on Iran's side. NOT just provide intel or support to Iran as we do Ukraine, but enter on their side.

I know how this stuff goes though; people latch onto the "correct" predictions and ignore everything else.

[progressoid]

115. Thank you!

I watched a few of his videos (time I wish I had back). Hopefully, he gets ignored and disappears soon.

Let's not give him any more attention.

[karynnj]

2. This has to be a war crime

Well before the war, there were stories of Iran having a water crisis, that could lead to areas including large cities being uninhabitable.

In a better world, the world's scientists would be working on this problem that affects or will affect so many countries, including parts of the US.

[wnylib]

48. Yes, it definitely is a war crime.

What in hell is wrong with the officer who ordered this strike and the pilot who was obligated to refuse to carry out an illegal order?

[pat_k]

58. We need another round of "disobey.illegal orders" with specific examples

[wnylib]

59. Put it on signs for No Kings rallies.

[Bayard]

99. It was also a war crime to bomb a girl's school and a hospital

trump probably got the idea from Bibi--who is so good at those tactics.

[maliaSmith]

139. Bombing hospitals

Hasn't Russia bombed hospitals in Ukraine?

[blm]

113. Didn't Gorbachev warn that the water wars will dwarf the oil wars

[leftstreet]

3. That's pretty much a war crime

Not that anyone's going to do anything about it

[NJCher]

26. Immediately, no

But in the long run, they will pay.

[UpInArms]

4. The cruelty is a feature

these people are monsters

they want the end of the earth

they said it

now they are trying to bring it about

5. Warmongers need to go

[RockRaven]

6. I'd like to see a primary candidate running on a platform entirely consisting of

turning Trump, Hegseth, Rubio, and the generals/admirals over to international courts for war crimes prosecution. Let's have that discussion loudly and thoroughly during the next campaign.

[LuvLoogie]

35. They have no intention of getting arrested and

turned over to criminal courts. The military has been inundated with White Christian Supremacists for decades. They have control of the nukes now.

[Wuddles440]

7. Right out of the Putin/Bibi playbook.

[EX500rider]

8. "THE US JUST BOMBED A WATER PLANT" According to Iran you mean?

[Ilsa]

24. Not so unbelievable after double-tap on a girls school. nt

[patphil]

27. Yeah, I found that to be horrifying. And we did it, as confirmed by major US news services.

[Lovie777]

70. Corporate media -0- coverage................

[patphil]

112. Trump govt says they're investigating, but all the evidence points to the US attack on a nearby naval base.

A "precision strike" that wasn't precise at all.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-investigation-points-likely-us-responsibility-iran-school-strike-sources-say-2026-03-06/

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/world/middleeast/iran-school-us-strikes-naval-base.html

[druidity33]

131. And if it's true?

You know, like we bombed that school and denied it and still deny it. Will you believe our Gov't over a NYT assessment or article by the Guardian? Or will you say, "Damn, i was wrong... the US Gov't really is just as untrustworthy as Iran".

[EX500rider]

134. Well first if it would depend if it was on purpose or not

Not all bombs end up where they should, not all Targets are correctly identified, war is not straightforward or easy

[druidity33]

137. You think the current US government would admit it? nt.

[vanessa_ca]

9. There's a very special place in hell for the duo of evil carrying out such war crimes.

Demonic evil.

[sarisataka]

10. We really need to decide on a single standard

Just a couple days ago people were saying once the US and its allies ran out of interceptors Iran should take out the desalinization plants to cut water off to the Gulf states.

Is attacking water supplies a viable tactic or is it a crime

Or is it variable depending on who does it?

[EX500rider]

12. Assuming it even happened, (shows pic of undamaged facility)

[ruet]

28. ...

https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/03/satellite-firm-pauses-imagery-after-revealing-irans-attacks-on-us-bases/

Hey, if/when this is proven true which option are you going to go with? "Iran did it to themselves" or "there was a launcher there"?

[Kingofalldems]

38. Great response.

[EX500rider]

88. Sure, who I am I to question some rando's post on X, must be true!! RT agrees!!! lol

[JBTaurus83]

97. That's the Israeli/US

Answer to every sick action they take, so I’d say you are spot on.

[questionseverything]

91. After watching Israel bomb people inside a pen for two years straight,

Damaging hospitals, schools, churches, residential buildings there is very little I wouldn’t believe

[EX500rider]

93. This claims the US did it, not the IDF

[questionseverything]

95. Sadly, two peas in the same nasty pod. Israel could not have tortured the people of Gaza w/o our permission, help and

Support

[rictofen]

54. When Iran does it, it's called asymmetric warfare

And of course they ONLY do it because the Great Satan and JOOOOOOOZE force them to.

[displacedvermoter]

57. Who in your opinion would it be ok to do it?

Us, apparently?

[sarisataka]

61. No, I am against the conflict as a whole

And particularly against attacking civilian targets.
Since we are doing "apparently"-

Apparently the regime that killed upwards of 30,000 of its own citizens this year has been rehabilitated and it is acceptable for them to attack civilian targets in any country they choose.

[displacedvermoter]

64. But aren't we supposed to be "better" than them?

Apparently not.

[sarisataka]

67. One would like to think so

But we are led by the moron who started this fiasco.

This still avoids my question. Why is Iran justified in attacking civilian targets? (Taking the lack of virtually even the slightest condemnation as tacit acceptance)

[PufPuf23]

94. I don't think Netanyahu is a moron.

Smart evil.

[sarisataka]

106. Last time i checked, Netanyahu is not the US President

I am not willing to give Trump a pass as a victim of a conspiracy.

[PufPuf23]

108. Netanyahu plays Trump like a fiddle.

Last edited Sat Mar 7, 2026, 09:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Israel's response to October 7 is why Biden or Harris are not POTUS.

Israel's response to October 7 why there is a huge Democratic divide now and why the USA has lost allies and World respect.

An Iran 100% surrender that satisfies Trump's fever dreams and allows Trump to pick a new leader of Iran will embolden Israel aggression to expand a Greater Israel, not end the conflict in the Middle East.

I am not willing to give Trump nor Netanyahu's Israel a pass.

That is an opinion held in common by most clear thinking and moral Americans, particularly Democrats.

No conspiracy, transparent propaganda and kinetic actions in plain sight for the past 2 1/2 years.

[sarisataka]

110. October 7

Hamas mass rape and murder of Israeli civilians occurred on October 7, 2023

[PufPuf23]

111. Oops my finger hit the adjacent key. nt

[displacedvermoter]

132. Perhaps Kegsbreath

constantly reminding the world about how unfair this war is -- with a number of DU military advisors agreeing -- could perhaps embolden Iran to use any and all means to fight back.

Just one thought.

[dalton99a]

11. Murdering school girls wasn't enough

14. The missile was allegedly launched from Bahrain

Expect reciprocal action.

Link to tweet

[EX500rider]

20. "proof" Looking at the trajectory those look like interceptor missiles

Also the "RT" on the footage makes it suspect.
Why & what type of missiles would the US be using when US bombers have free reign over Iran?

[vanessa_ca]

22. DU rules prohibit me from replying -eom

[EX500rider]

29. Gosh if you can't trust RT who can you trust right LOL

[sarisataka]

32. Russian propaganda sources

Are enjoying a surging popularity

[EX500rider]

33. Confirmation bias in its purest form

[EX500rider]

31. You'll also find DU rules prevent RT from being used in late breaking news for some reason I wonder why

[sarisataka]

23. Perhaps this was a reciprocal attack

By Bahrain for the Iranian attack on its civilian oil facilities. Infrastructure for Infrastructure

[Igel]

63. I like square circles.

One poster said the trajectories looked like interceptor missiles.

What would happen if you intercepted a large bomb as it flew over a desalination plant, so that lots of heavy burning debris hit the plant? Or even if interceptors went astray and struck the desal plant?

In that case I wouldn't blame the maker of the interceptors (the US), or the military firing the interceptors (Bahrain), but the military firing the missiles to be intercepted.

Sadly, this cannot be. It would blame the victim, and at no point is a victim ever in the slightest responsible for his/her victimization.

Note that millennia ago, in a language abroad program, some poor German came to class saying he'd been robbed. We asked--teacher had no objection, since the English, French, Bulgarian, and Italian speakers had scant German and the Germans' knowledge the above consisted of hand gestures, so musili jsme ji zeptali jenom cesky, jak mozna bylo, ze jeho, nemca, kriminalci cesti okradli!" And he had to answer that he'd been out drinking, made some Czech friends; different bar, drank more; maybe a third bar, but definitely drank more. And he woke up on a bench with a police officer asking if he was okay but he lacked his identification as a German legally in the country, had no money, etc., etc. We laughed at the poor, undeserving victim. The cop had more mercy on him--mostly because he was nemec and assumed to be so stupid and arrogant as to be a waste of carbon. But took him back to the dorm and made sure he was treated well, since he was obviously unable to take care of himself. Fortunately, he wasn't my German BMV automotive engineer roommate. (NB: I probably screwed up the Czech, it's been 30 years.)

[dalton99a]

15. Kick

Security experts have long warned that the Gulf's reliance on centralised desalination infrastructure represents one of the most dangerous pressure points in any Middle East conflict.

A leaked 2008 US diplomatic cable from Riyadh warned that Saudi Arabia's capital would have to be evacuated within a week if the Jubail desalination plant, its pipelines, or associated power infrastructure were seriously damaged, adding that the Saudi government's structure could not function without it.

The Jubail complex, located on Saudi Arabia's eastern coast, supplies more than 90 percent of Riyadh's drinking water through a pipeline stretching roughly 500 kilometres inland.

Qatar's prime minister warned last year that any attack on Iran's nuclear facilities could contaminate the region's waters and threaten life in Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait, and disclosed that Qatar had once assessed it could run out of potable water in just three days in such a scenario, leading Doha to build 15 massive water reservoirs as emergency reserves.

Despite these fears, Iran has so far refrained from directly targeting Gulf desalination facilities during the current conflict, even as it has struck airports, hotels, ports, oil installations, and energy infrastructure across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman over the past week.

https://www.turkiyetoday.com/region/iran-condemns-us-attack-on-iranian-desalination-plant-issues-a-veiled-threat-3215797

[Igel]

66. Yeah, but most of that blather for the last week or so has been about Iran knocking out water supplies for Arab states.

Whether that would be the final breaking point in Iran's descent towards Putinistic 'let's bomb maternity hospital' type scheiss.

That didn't happen. But I'm not ruling out that the 'attack' on the desalination plant was parallel to when Israeli interceptors took out a Muslim-fired missile--whether God's Party, ZEAL, or the Iranian Ayatollah Shi'ite Shura as the agents of intended Israeli corpsehood--and it was clear that it was the remains of the interceptor-intercepted system that did the damage. Moreover, had the missile accomplished its goals, the death/destruction/etc. would have been worse. Few to none that I am aware of claimed it was the Israeli military intentionally destroying an Israeli apt. building.

Then again, had it fallen on Arabic speakers or Muslims, all bets are off.

[ananda]

16. That was very educational for me.

Thanks for posting.

[usonian]

18. War on a whim. "Three days the most" Welcome to hell, world.

Coming up next:

[The Madcap]

19. This is the Putin playbook.

Strike fear into the hearts of the civilian population.

That's what Putin is attempting to do in Ukraine. At some point, the population is hardened to the constant attacks and will become dangerous for the attacker.

[patphil]

21. I haven't been able to find a major US news source to confirm this yet.

This doesn't mean it didn't happen, but I would sure like to see a major US network carry the story, other than just Arab sources.
I realize how important these plants are to the people of the middle east, Here's an article that talks about these plants:

https://www.wvnews.com/persian-gulf-desalination-plants-could-become-military-targets-in-regional-war/article_678a05b9-29bd-59f2-9cd7-6e6245c50acd.html

Destroying even one would be messing with innocent people's lives in a big way.

[vanessa_ca]

25. I'm sure they will- as soon as they find those WMDs -eom

[Ilsa]

127. I tried four or five sources earlier. No joy. nt

[WarGamer]

30. debunked by AI... where's the evidence?

No, not as claimed. Iran's FM accuses the US of striking a desalination plant on Qeshm Island, saying it cut water to 30 villages and sets a "precedent" for civilian targets.

Western reports (BBC, NYT satellite analysis) link it to confirmed US strikes on a Revolutionary Guards naval base there earlier this week—damage to military infrastructure, not a verified direct hit on a water plant.

The attached image appears to show an unrelated coastal industrial site (likely oil-related). Ongoing conflict has many unconfirmed claims on both sides.

[malaise]

34. Effin monsters

That is all

[artemisia1]

39. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Knock out Israel's desalinization plants and its agricultural

industry dies and its people will be rationing water in a way that makes the late-1970's California drought look like nothing.

[highplainsdem]

40. According to Wikipedia, nearly 90% of Israel's drinkable water is from desalination. Incredibly stupid

of the US to make a desalination plant a target.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_Israel

[calimary]

44. Well, when you have an incredibly stupid ass running things in the Oval Office,

you’re stuck with what little you get. And you’re still expected to be grateful somehow.

[RandomNumbers]

41. So, are we being greeted as 'liberators' yet?

[Wonder Why]

42. To my veteran cohorts who followed illegal orders and deliberately or without questioning,

committed any war crimes in Iran, I say you are a traitor to your oath, to the Constitution and to your country.

May God have mercy on you for surely, were I to be on your jury, I would not.

[popsdenver]

43. Trump, Stephen Miller CABAL are all Sadists

they would have bombed Minneapolis if they could have gotten away with it.......

[Another Jackalope]

45. True or not, I expect Iran to use this as a precedent

to start striking other nations' desal plants. That would hurt far more people than just bombing refineries. IMHO.

[EX500rider]

65. Sure, if they want all those countries to add their Air Forces to the current attacks then great idea!

[Another Jackalope]

75. They don't seem terribly concerned so far.

Going head to head with Israel and the Great Satan would seem to illustrate their level of resolve. Whether they would worry depends on how much air defense they have in reserve.

[EX500rider]

77. "much air defense they have in reserve."

Since it seems like they have shot down zero enemy planes over their country I am going to guess zero?

Adding the Air Forces of the Gulf States + Saudi certainly wouldn't make things better for them IMO

[Another Jackalope]

82. Maybe they're just past giving a shit

Conveniently ignoring the F15's, eh? "Over their country" isn't much of a qualifier in a modern air war.

[EX500rider]

85. Iran didn't shot down any F-15's, that was blue-on-blue

"Over their country" isn't much of a qualifier in a modern air war.
Certainly aren't any Russian or Ukrainian planes going much past the line of contact, why?
Because both countries have a robust & modern air defense network...Iran not so much.

[AloeVera]

120. Seems you are rooting for a wider, regional war.

Surely you don't mean that?

Right?

[EX500rider]

121. Most people recognize sarcasm

Obviously stupid for Iran to try to entice more countries to attack them, but they keep attacking other countries it's going to happen

[AloeVera]

122. That was sarcasm?

I've found people will sometimes claim "sarcasm" when they've accidentally revealed more than they intended.

But I'm sure that wasn't the case here.

And THAT was sarcasm.

[EX500rider]

124. Well gosh I'm sure you know more of what I meant than I do LOL

[EX500rider]

126. Whether you can recognize sarcasm or not

Doesn't change the fact that it's actually a truthful statement, if Iran wants other Air Forces to start attacking them also, attacking their countries is a good way to do that.

[Igel]

73. But wait, didn't Iran just say that it wouldn't target them?

Oh, wait.

This is Iran.

I guess assuming that any unuseful promise is meaningless is standard and the lack of "truthity" without penalty.

[Another Jackalope]

76. They're in a fucking war. And the USA just did it to them.

The USA says it has no ROE, but you want Iran to keep all its promises?

[EX500rider]

89. Who says the US did it to them other then some rando's X post?

I mean they guy is a BitCoin huckster so that adds legitimacy...lol

[Another Jackalope]

98. Well, Ynetnews is reporting it as factual

Somebody not Iranian did it. That narrows the field, no?
The serious issue is what Iran will do in retaliation.
And shooting the messenger is not helpful. Understandable, but not helpful.

[EX500rider]

105. Not, Ynet is reporting that Iran said it happened. Does not make it so

However being the island at the mouth of the straights of Hormuz, Iran most likely has a large amount of the defense's there, so it would make military sense to knock out the islands electrical & water.
Only a few miles to the mainland so water can be brought in but it would complicate things for them.

[bluestarone]

46. Certainly answers our questions, (Will Military follow illegal orders)

Wow, just WOW!!

[OGBuzz]

49. Hegshit will be releasing a new video any minute now in celebration, with Spongebob and Snoopi.

[AverageOldGuy]

52. Iran is not the only place in the world . . .

with water treatment facilities.

Now water treatment plants in cities, towns, villages in the US are terrorist targets.


It’s comforting to know that KashMeIn Patel and his counter-terrorism crews are on the job. They are on the job, right?

[rzemanfl]

102. Exactly. n/t

[dflprincess]

53. Winning their hearts and minds

[Kath2]

56. Right?!!!

Where have we heard that before?

[cate94]

62. Just when I think I couldn't hate this administration more

They turn it up a notch

[EX500rider]

68. Somebody posts it on X and everybody laps it up as the truth? confirmation bias much?

With zero pictures of any actual damage to a water desal plant.
And then someone posts some RT footage of some random missile launches as "proof"

Any actual new sources covering this?

[sarisataka]

72. News, schmooze

Look how the claim the Iranian warships was unarmed even though officials Iranian news sources never made or supported that claim.

[EX500rider]

90. The guy who posted it is a Middle Eastern bit-coin huckster, so legitimacy!! lol

[liberalla]

69. As with so many things these days, I am shocked, horrified, repulsed, outraged, appalled... and on and on.

In absolute disbelief that WE (the USA) are committing these types of illegal, criminal, inhumane acts of war!

WTF is going on? The crazy people are in charge... Can no one grab the wheel to course-correct before we plunge over the cliff?

What the HELL??

This just can't continue like this, and yet... it just keeps going...

Come Onnnnn !!!!

[Takket]

71. you know.... i kind of felt some sympathy for the "i'm just following orders" rank and file military

but not anymore

fuck 'em.

everyone that participated in these war crimes should go to prison, right down to the lowest ranking person. only exception i'll make is for anyone that gets immunity for flipping on kegseth.

The Democrats tried to warn people with their video about not following illegal orders, and they didn't care. fuck 'em

[ChicagoTeamster]

74. That's a war crime. Was it the US or Israel? Now our military has an obligation to arrest and try the officers who

ordered the strike. When the legal structure of the offending country fail to comply then international law can take effect. Canadian prosecutors wrote charging documents for George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

I hope Iran bombs all the other countries water plants now. Then they'll all start reassessing their relationship with Trump. After Putin is overthrown and all the Arab countries turn on Trump and his family, There will be nowhere on this earth they can go to and expect to be safe, and everyone here will hate them and dump any involvement with any business they're involved in. They'll be pariahs everywhere they go just like Bernie Madoff's family.

[Another Jackalope]

80. No ROE, remember?

Hogsbreath probably thinks Geneva is just some quaint little town in Switzerland.

[sarisataka]

84. So bombing an Iranian water plant is a war crime

But you "hope Iran bombs all the other countries water plants now"

Would not those attacks be war crimes?

[ChicagoTeamster]

96. Yes. But their only strategy is to make the cost for the US and Israel and the Trump administration and their allies in

the US government so high that there will be no benefit obtained even if they succeed. Iran would have to fight a very long drawn out war to wear out the US and Israel militarily and the devastation inside of their country from such a war would be unrecoverable. Look at Syria. They will spend over 50 years rebuilding and it will never be the same. And that's in addition to their population recovering from all the death and mutilation. Same with Gaza.

I wouldn't suggest they retaliate in such a way if the US had not already bombed Iran's desalinization plant. This was an act of terrorism as was the deliberate double-tap bombing of the girl's school when taking into consideration the already illegal bombing campaign.

Terrorism is a tactic, not an ideology. And now that the US and Israel have used it. The Iranians are more likely to increase terror attacks. Also, martyrdom is a central, defining, and revered concept of the Shia sect of Islam.

Keep in mind, water has already been a source of resource contention and potential conflict between Iran and Afghanistan over the Helmand River and has escalated into serious, occasionally violent, confrontations affecting the Sistan-Balochistan region, aggravated by climate change, droughts, and the Taliban's construction of dams and canals.

This is known to military planners and they are trying to break the Iranian will by putting extreme strain on their population.

[sarisataka]

107. My ethics are not flexible enough

To excuse terrorism and attacks on civilians by claiming a country has no other choice. It is always a choice.

Iran has been attacking civilian targets in Israel and other countries who are not participating in the war. IMO that is wrong and not retroactively justified.

[druidity33]

128. Understanding is different than

excusing. I can see why Martyrdom is prevalent there. It doesn't mean i excuse it.

[sarisataka]

143. Which is your opinion

And a very respectable one.
The poster I directed the question to has not said their opinion.

I am not singling that pister out however, I have seen many excuses or calls for Iranian actions, that if done by other countries, would be deemed war crimes.

[ChicagoTeamster]

144. Israel is participating in the war and the targets Iran hit are the military installations of their attackers in

the region.

I don't look at this from an ethical position. I look at it from the position of an analyst. War is being waged against Iran and it would be naive to think that they will say, "Oh well, we'll just let our people die and be overrun again because we don't have the same military and financial resources as our attackers who have a history of overthrowing our governments to control our country and our resources. Maybe the rest of the world will invoke the Geneva Convention and UN Security Council against our attackers and save us." Regardless of their past transgressions they are not going to say "maybe we deserve this".

Iran tried to be neutral during WWII but were invaded by the British. They were one of the first countries to acknowledge the nation of Israel in 1948. But then the US and UK overthrew the democratically elected Mossadegh government to take control of Iran's oil industry and put the brutal dictator Shah Reza Pavlavi in power. The Islamic revolution of 1979 would not have happened if not for the UK and US putting the Shah in power. Then the US encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran and supplied both sides against each other causing the war to drag on and inflicting incredible suffering on both sides. And now the US is at it again this time with Israel because both Presidents are trying to avoid prosecution for their corruption. The Iranian people will never accept any government imposed through force by us.

As far as terrorism, Israel employed terrorism against the Palestinians and the British during their war to take over Palestine and establish the nation of Israel. Menachem Begin was the leader of a terrorist organization called the Irgun. The Zionists were initially receiving assistance from the IRA in their fight against the British but after the Irgun blew up the King David hotel where British administrative headquarters were located killing 253, even the IRA stopped helping them. The Israelis also attacked the USS Vincennes during the Suez crisis. And they massacred 3,000 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut Lebanon in 1982 resulting in the attack on the US Marine Barracks in Beirut killing 241 Marines and embassy personnel.

I don't want more Americans killed over this. I would prefer that the US and Israel didn't illegally attack Iran, and that the US Congress would assert their authority and stop the illegal military action against Iran, also that our troops weren't being sacrificed for a psychopath's distraction. But now that an illegal military operation (war) is being waged I would prefer expensive infrastructure damage over bombing of schools and hospitals and our troops being killed and maimed in a long, pointless, wasteful, and unnecessary war. Maybe if the people in the region who Trump is making money off of really put financial pressure on him (we know he's transactional) he'll come up with a quick end.

Iran is now trying to drag Shia militias in Iraq into the conflict while the US tries to get Iranian dissident Kurdish militia in Iraq to join the fight. In addition to the 6 US deaths in Kuwait, an ammo depot in Irbil Iraqi Kurdistan was blown up the day before yesterday, we don't know about the casualties if any. The sooner this stops the better.

86. Why that island? Answer...

It is located in the Strait of Hormuz.

If people have no water to drink, they are forced to relocate, right?

An island without people is much easier to occupy. In order to control the Strait.

Just my theory.

[bluestarone]

92. I like your theory

[EX500rider]

114. location certainly makes it more likely IMO

Less to occupy though and more to make it hard for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to operate out of there while trying to close the straights

119. Destroying vital civilian infrastructure to achieve war goals is a war crime.

Not that that would make any difference to these two belligerents.

But depriving 150,000+ people of the basic right to water, necessitating their forced transfer from their homes and lands is a depraved thing to do. Unimaginable...oh wait, where have I seen this recently, on an even larger scale?

103. Trump...

and everything in and about his regime is pure evil, simply for the sake of being evil.

[Captain Zero]

104. Iran did say they would respond "IN PROPORTION"

to whatever the US, Trump, and Israel did.
They said it right before this all started.
I guess Trump wasn't on his Adderall that day.

I sure wouldn't want to be on the West Palm Beach water system like Mara Loco is.

125. Is this even true? It's only off of a claim by Iran

And Iran is well known for inflating or creating headlines. No major source is reporting it. The only US quote I could find said they know nothing about it. All articles are regional from an Iranian quote.

136. At least 20 SCHOOLS and 10 HOSPITALShave been damaged. We don't hear about that either.

Per UNICEF. But we don't hear about that either.

The Department of War Crimes and The Most Moral Army in The World are keeping it from us.

Here is UNICEF'S statement.

140. UNICEF's is just reporting what Iran has said

At least 20 schools and 10 hospitals have reportedly been damaged

Also not all damage will be US or IDF caused, Iran will have a fairly substantial failure rate in missiles/UAV launches & every surface to air missile they launch comes down somewhere in Iran, mostly in/near cities since that is where a lot of their air defenses will be based.

147. Disgusting and inhumane. Punishment is appropriate.

As Senator Mark Kelly stated, the U.S. military members and intelligence professionals "can refuse illegal orders," emphasizing their duty to uphold the Constitution. In a November 2025 video, he and other Democratic lawmakers argued that some orders from the administration were pitting the military against citizens and that, under the law, troops are not required to follow unlawful commands.

Whoever issued that order should be court marshaled or if appropriate IMPEACHED!!!!!
